Disclaimers: I do not own Power Rangers or any characters affiliated

it. They're the exclusive property of Saban Entertainment, Inc. and I

not wish to be sued. However, Danny Kain, the Prophet and Tyrant
Ranger
powers, the Virtuosity Rangers' powers, and Ryan Marshak, though he's
an
amalgam from two characters from the show Friday the 13th: the series,
are
all my ideas.

Note from the author: You might think that there isn't any logic behind
who
I chose to be the Phantom Ranger, but there is. If you think about
what
this character said on his last appearance on the show, you'll see the
logic.

David nodded. "Yes," he said, "I helped out the second Turbo team out
a
few times, as you would know, Justin, and I helped them out once after
they
became the Space Rangers."

"Yeah, and fell in love with one of them," Justin commented.

"What?" Tommy was surprised.

"It's true," David said, hanging his head. "I fell for Cassie, the
Pink
Ranger in both teams."

"Hey man, that's great," Tommy said, "Have you revealed who you are to
her?"

David shook his head. "No, I just couldn't," he said, "There would be
so
much to explain, like how I got these powers."

"Just how did you get them?" Kim asked.

"It's a long story, and one that can wait until later," David said,
"Don't
we have classes to teach at the new Youth Center?"

"Yeah, I guess we do," Jason said. The Virtuosity Rangers, Danny, and
David all teleported away.

When they got to the Youth Center, they split up. Trini, Jason, and
Tommy
went to teach their martial arts classes and Kat and Tanya went to
teach
their dance class. Kim started towards her gymnastics class, and Danny
joined her surprisingly.

The girls Kim had in her class giggled, as Danny stepped up with Kim
to the
head of the class in his old gymnastic outfit. "It's been ages since
I've
done this, girls, so go easy on me," he joked.

Kim couldn't help but grin at the starry eyed looks Danny was getting
from
the girls. `Gee, somehow I don't think he'll have any trouble finding
volunteers,' she mused and laughed inwardly.

"I bet most of you think that boys don't belong in gymnastics, huh?"
Danny
asked. The girls giggling was all the answer he needed. "Well, that's
wrong. When I was training for the Olympics in ice skating, the man
who
taught me also made me learn
gymnastics, and I learned under some of the Olympic greats, girls and
guys.
And some of the guys I met were just as good as the girls."

"And when I went to the Pan Globals," Kim interjected, "I met guys
there
that were just as good as I am, and I'm a gold medalist."

Danny nodded. "Guys can be just as flexible as girls sometimes," he
said,
"You'd be surprised on how many guys there are that can do... this."
He did
a full split, making the few guys watching in the Juice Bar wince and
cross
their legs.

As the class started working, Kim found, to her surprise, that Danny,
though just a tad bit rusty, was indeed good at gymnastics. She hadn't
quite believed him when he told her that, until now. When class was
over,
Danny changed in the guys' locker room, where he was promptly teased
about
his interest in gymnastics.

"Oh, you're just jealous because you can't do things like that," Danny
shot
back. He sat down at the table the Rangers frequented and ordered
something
to drink. He usually helped out, but he was a little too tired to at
the
moment. Besides, it didn't look like Ryan and Ernie were needing help.

He put his head down on the table.

"Excuse me, handsome. Is this seat taken?"

Danny's head snapped up at the female voice. Standing before him was
a
beautiful young woman. Danny remembered that she was a student in
Kim's
class, but couldn't remember her name. "No, it's not," he said. He
couldn't help but stare.

"Take a picture," the girl said, as she sat down. "It'll last
longer."
Danny smiled. The young teen girl extended her hand to him. "My
name's
Shaiana Knight, and I was in the gymnastics class you just helped
teach.
What's your name?"

Shaiana was a little taller than he was, and had long blond hair that
looked almost white. She was very pretty, and had big, crystal blue
eyes.
"I'm 14," she said, "How old are you?"

"I'll be turning 15 in a couple of months," Danny replied. He
couldn't
tear his eyes away from hers, and Shaiana seemed to be having the same
trouble. "Um, would you like to go to the dance later on with me?"

"I'd love to," Shaiana said.

Kim had just came out of the class room and spotted Danny with a
student of
hers. It took Kim a minute to remember Shaiana's name. She smiled at
the
obvious mutual attraction between the two.

"Hey there, beautiful," Tommy said, as he came up from behind Kim and
wrapped his arms around her. "What are you smiling at?"

"Oh, nothing really," Kim said, turning around and giving her husband
a
kiss. "It looks like Danny's falling for one of my students." She
nodded
to their table, where Danny was engrossed in talking to Shaiana.

"Mm, well, he couldn't pick a prettier girl," Tommy replied.

Kim smacked him on the shoulder. "You fink," she teased.

"Don't worry, Kimmie," Tommy said, "She has nothing on you." He
pulled her
in for another kiss, a more passionate one at that.

"Mm, now stop that," Kim said, breaking the kiss. Tommy gave her an
innocent smile. "I've got a class in about ten minutes."

"Hey, I just wanted a kiss," Tommy said, "I've got to meet Jason out
back
in about five minutes. Yeesh."

"Sorry, sweetie," Kim said, "Early pregnancy mood swings, I guess."

"Well, I married you for better or worst, and this is about as bad as
it
gets," Tommy teased. Kim slapped him on the shoulder again.

Adam had just finished helping Rocky teach a class. "Hey, Adam,"
Rocky
said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure thing, Rocky," Adam said, "What's up?"

"Tell me what you think about this." Rocky pulled a jewelers box from
his
pocket and opened it, to reveal a stunning ring.

"It's great, Rocky, but it wouldn't look right. I mean, you and me,"
Adam
joked, grinning. "I mean, I appreciate the gesture, but you've got
Kat, and
I've got Tanya. It just wouldn't look right."

"Oh, very funny. It's for Kat, wise guy," Rocky replied, saying the
last
part very quietly. "I was thinking about asking her to marry me."

"That's what she keeps asking me," Adam said, sighing. "I'm afraid
that's
going to have be put on the back burner, until the new outdoor JBG can
be
constructed. I just don't know how to tell Tanya. How'd you get the
ring,
anyway? I thought you put in just as much as the rest of us for the
outdoor
JBG."

"I do," Rocky said, "It's a family heirloom I inherited from my
grandmother. My mom gave me the box for hers, because she won't need
it."

"Well, Kat will be getting out of her dance class in a few minutes,"
Adam
said, "Why not ask her right here?"

"Right here?" Rocky inquired, "Hmm, maybe I will."

"Well, here she comes," Adam said, as they spotted Kat coming out of
the
locker rooms and making a beeline in their direction.

"Rocky!!!" Kat cried, rushing in for a hug.

"Kat, I need to ask you something," Rocky said, "We've been going out
for
about a year, right?"

Kat nodded. "That's right," she said, "Our anniversary is in two
months.
Why?"

"Well, I don't want to wait for our anniversary for this," Rocky said.
He
pulled the box back out, opened it, and dropped to one knee, as per
custom.
"Katherine Hillard, will you marry me?"

Time seemed to halt in the entire Youth Center, as everybody stopped
what
they were doing and watched Rocky proposing to Kat. They awaited her
answer.

Tommy started the cheering, while Kim started the clapping. Every
person
in the Youth Center cheered for the young couple, who were taking the
next
big step in their lives.

"I wish you would do that for me," Tanya said to Adam, as he wrapped
his
arms around her waist.

"I will soon enough, Tanya, I promise," Adam replied.

Tommy was just heading for the back, when a hand fell on his shoulder.
Without thinking, and running on Ranger instinct alone, he grabbed the
person's hand, and flipped whoever it was over his shoulder.

It had been David who made the mistake of sneaking up on him. "Oh
geez,"
Tommy said, giving his brother a sheepish grin. "I'm so sorry, David."
He
gently helped David up.

"Don't worry about it, Tommy," David said, brushing off his pants.
"I'll
know not to sneak up on you anymore, that's for sure."

"Well, what did you sneak up on me for?" Tommy asked.

"Well, I was wondering about the dance you told me about, the one you
guys
are having tonight," David said, "Do I have to come with a date?"

Tommy had completely forgotten about the dance that night.
"Well, no, I guess you don't have to," he said, "But what about asking
Cassie, if you could find her? I bet, if you told her who you were,
she'd
go with you."

"It's too late," David said, "I read on the internet last night, in
some
wedding chat board, that she married TJ from the second generation of
Turbo
Rangers and the Space Rangers team about a week ago."

"Oh," Tommy said, "I'm so sorry, David."

"It's all right, bro," David said, "I should have told her sooner.
It's my
own fault, for never telling her when I had the chance."

"That's so sad," Kim said as she joined them. "I'm sorry about
overhearing, David."

"It's all right, Kim," David said, "Tommy probably would have told you
later, anyway. I'm just one of those lonely hearts now."

When they teleported onto the battle field, they found that Phyrix was
big,
though not near zord height. "Let's do it," Tommy said. Danny and
David
were quickly engaged by the virtuasoldiers, while the Virtuosity
Rangers
took on Phyrix.

Using their newfound teamwork, Danny and David quickly dispatched the
virtuasoldiers. All of a sudden, the Tyrant Ranger decided to make an
appearance, teleporting in out of the blue.

"I don't know if I'm ready for this," David said, and him and Danny
circled
the Tyrant Ranger.

"Yeah, well, we'll see about that," Danny said, "Scythe of Prophecy."
His
diamond bladed scythe appeared in his hand, while David's gunblade
appeared
in his with a silent command. Then, they engaged the Tyrant Ranger.

Tommy and the others were having a hard time with Phyrix. "Let's
bring
together the Virtual Enforcer, guys," Tommy said. With that, the
weapons
came together, along with their virtuablasters. The megablaster
dropped
into Tommy's hands, and the others crowded around.

David and Danny were barely holding their own against the Tyrant
Ranger.
Out of the corner of his eye, Danny could see the Virtuosity Rangers
finishing off Phyrix. They started heading towards the battle.

"Fourteen against one aren't my odds," Tyrant Ranger said, "But for a
parting shot." A beam of light issued forth from his hand and hit
David
full force. David cried out as he depowered. Tyrant Ranger
disappeared.

"David, what happened?" Danny asked.

"The Phantom ruby," David said, "My powers.... the Tyrant Ranger
destroyed
them." With that, he collapsed.

At the party, David stayed by himself. The computers at the VRCC had
confirmed that the Phantom ruby had indeed been depowered. David
looked
around the Youth Center.

Tommy and Kim were out on the dance floor, not surprisingly. And so
were
Billy and Trini, Jason and Emily, Zack and Aisha, Rocky and Kat, Tanya
and
Adam, Justin and a girl he had introduced to everybody as Mary, and
Danny
and his new girlfriend Shaiana. Ryan was behind the bar, the only
Virtuosity Ranger that didn't have a
girlfriend.

"And isn't married," David murmured, as he gazed at Tommy and Kim.
His
brother had, of course, offered to stay with him most of the night, and
Kim
had offered to dance with him, but he had turned Tommy down, and told
Kim to
ask him later.

"Excuse me, sir, but is anybody sitting here?"

David looked up in surprise, to see a pretty young lady waiting for
his
answer. "Um, no," David stuttered, "Nobody's sitting here."

"Good," the young woman said, plopping down in the seat. "All of
these
couples are really making me self conscious and wishing I had a
boyfriend.
What about you, Mr..."

"Trueheart, but call me David," David replied, "I know what you mean."
If
it was literal about the light going off above his head when he got an
idea,
it would have at that moment. "Would you like to dance?"

"Sure I would," the young woman said. She allowed him to help her up
and
lead her out to the floor.

"You haven't told me your name quite yet, Ms..." David said, as they
started dancing.

"Just call me Trisha," the girl said.

"All right, Trisha," David said. He felt an odd tug at his heart,
something he hadn't felt since he first met Cassie. `Am I falling in
love?'
he mused, `Yes, I think I am, and it feels wonderful.'

To be continued...

Author's note: Did you like the story? Good, because I'm afraid that
this
is the season finale of Power Rangers: Virtuosity. I know I haven't
had a
lot of fanfics for this series, but I will change that next season.
Until
next time, ciao.
